How to Play KKPoker Ring Games and Tournaments

KKPoker games are divided into “Ring Games,” where you can continue playing at the table even if you lose, and “Tournaments,” which decide the 1st place winner.

Here, we will introduce how to play ring games and tournaments. For information on how to register for KKPoker, please refer to the following article.

How to Play Ring Games

We will explain specifically using NLH, which is a representative example of a ring game.

① Tap the Home button at the bottom of the screen, and then select NLH from the slider at the top of the screen.

② Scroll down and tap the blind you want to play from among the green buttons.

First, try choosing one that doesn’t have a Bomb mark, JACKPOT mark, or HU mark.

The meaning of the marks will be explained in the “NLH (No Limit Hold’em)” section.

You can check if a seat is available here.

③ Tap the + button to sit in a seat.

If the table is full, you can tap the waiting button to reserve a seat for when one becomes available.

④ When the BB (Big Blind) position comes to you, play begins.

If you want to join immediately, pressing the “Post BB” button allows you to play by paying the same amount as the BB on the spot.

⑤ When you want to end the game, you can finish at any time by pressing “Exit” from the menu button at the top left.

How to Play Tournaments

We will explain using MTT as a representative example of a tournament.

① Tap the Home button at the bottom of the screen, and then select MTT from the slider at the top of the screen.

② Tap the tournament you want to play.

③ Tap “Register.”

On this screen, you can check detailed information such as the structure and prize money.

④ If the tournament is currently running, you will join immediately. On the other hand, if it is before the start time, you will be in a registered state.

There are “Freerolls” with No Participation Fee in Tournaments

While KKPoker generally costs money to play, there are freerolls in MTT that can be played for free.

Look for “FREE” or “FREEROLL” in the game name. Also, depending on the club, freeroll tournaments may be held regularly.

The largest club, “Oncaji Record,” managed by this site, also holds freerolls every week! Any club member can participate.

Additionally, as a special event, we hold freerolls with a total prize pool of over $1,000 exclusively for club members who have registered on LINE.

Because the members are limited, it’s easier to win, and even beginners have a chance to get in the money!
If you’re starting KKPoker, join “Oncaji Record” and participate in freerolls to get luxurious prizes.

Types and Rules of Games Playable at KKPoker

There are eight types of games at KKPoker: NLH, PLO, 6+NLH, OFC, AOF, MTT, SpinUp, and KK CLASH.

We will explain them in order, starting with NLH.

NLH (No Limit Hold’em)

NLH is the most common poker game, played with 2 hole cards and 5 community cards shared by all players.

There are two types of NLH: FLASH and Ring Games.

FLASH

It remains an NLH game, but as soon as your hand is over, you fly to the next table immediately, making it possible to play a high number of hands without any waiting time.

Compared to NLH ring games of the same rate, FLASH is said to have a slightly higher player skill level.

*Rates exist in 7 types: 0.02/0.04, 0.05/0.1, 0.1/0.2, 0.25/0.5, 0.5/1, 1/5, 2.5/5. (As of July 2023)

If you want to know strategy methods, please refer to “Complete Explanation of KKPoker FLASH | Introducing Tips and Precautions [Officially Supervised].”

Ring Games

The play proceeds at the same table without changing after every hand.

*Rates exist in 11 types: 0.01/0.02, 0.02/0.04, 0.05/0.1, 0.1/0.2, 0.25/0.5, 0.3/0.6, 0.5/1, 1/2, 2.5/5, 5/10, 10/20. (As of July 2023)

The bomb mark represents a Bomb Pot table. At these tables, a game where all players play from the flop occurs at certain intervals.

The JACKPOT mark (the bomb mark in the image above) indicates a game where a jackpot can be won.

A jackpot is a system where prize money is awarded when strong hands like a Royal Flush, Straight Flush, or Quads are completed.

Jackpot prizes are paid from a jackpot rake collected from players every hand.

The HU mark represents a Heads-Up game where you play one-on-one.

PLO (Pot Limit Omaha)

PLO5 is a game played with 5 hole cards (dealt cards). Also, as the name suggests, the bet size is limited to the pot size or less.

6+ NLH

6+ NLH is a game that uses cards with a strength of 6 or higher (6, 7 to K, A). Only the BTN player pays a blind instead of SB/BB.

OFC (Pineapple Open Face Chinese Poker)

OFC (commonly known as Chaipo) is a poker game where you arrange cards on a blank board, creating strong hands in the order of “3rd row > 2nd row > 1st row.”

There are two types of games in OFC.

• Regular
• Joker Ultimate

In Joker Ultimate, jokers are also used, making the luck element stronger. In KKPoker, the pineapple mark is the sign.

AOF (All-in or Fold)

AOF (All-in or Fold) is, as the name suggests, a game where you can only go all-in or fold at the pre-flop.

Since it is a game with extremely high variance, make sure to manage your bankroll carefully.

MTT (Multi-Table Tournament)

Game types include NLH, PLO, and AOF.

FREEZE OUT is a game where you cannot “Re-entry” (paying the fee to join again when chips hit 0) or “Add-on” (paying the fee again to buy more starting chips to increase your stack).

KO is a game where you earn a bounty (special prize/bonus) if you knock out an opponent.

Those marked as “Turbo” have faster blind level increases.

Those marked as “LB” are subject to the monthly Leaderboard.

Those marked as “S” are Satellite tournaments (qualifiers).

Those marked as “FREE” or “FREEROLL” can be played for free.

Our club “Oncaji Record“ is hosting freerolls that are easy for beginners to join! If you are interested, please join us.

SpinUp

SpinUp is a game similar to a tournament played with 3 people. The prize money is decided by a roulette before the game starts, up to a maximum of 10,110 times.

After registering for the game, the roulette will spin and the prize money will be determined as soon as 3 people gather, then the game begins. So just wait there.

KK CLASH

KK CLASH is a new game announced by KKPoker on September 6, 2023.

You predict the winner between the Shark and the King, and if you win, you get a prize according to the odds and the bet amount.

Frequently Asked Questions about KKPoker Game Types and How to Play

Here, we will answer frequently asked questions about KKPoker game types, how to play, and features.

How Many Types of Games can be Played in KKPoker MTT (Tournaments)?

There are 5 types of games you can play in KKPoker MTT: NLH, FLASH, PLO4, PLO5, and AOF.

However, because the content differs, such as tournaments for high rollers or large-scale ones, if you classify them finely, countless types of tournaments are being held.

Any Recommended “Tasty” Tournaments in KKPoker that are Easy to Earn From?

If you want to participate in “tasty” tournaments that are easy to earn from, join a club that holds regular freerolls.

Club tournaments tend to be easier to finish in the money than large tournaments because the following conditions are met.

• Number of participants is limited
• Participants are mostly the same people, so you know their habits
• Prize amounts are guaranteed

The club “Oncaji Record” managed by this site holds special freerolls with a total prize pool of over $2,000 in addition to weekly freerolls.

It is a club with very “tasty” tournaments where you can also get a Platinum VIP card as a sub-prize.
If you want to earn money efficiently in tasty tournaments, we recommend joining “Oncaji Record.”

What Time do KKPoker Tournaments Start?

Since KKPoker has players all over the world, tournaments are held 24 hours a day.

Naturally, from late night to early morning, most players are from overseas with a large time difference from Japan.

How Long Does One Match of a KKPoker Game Take?

Basic games take about 2 to 3 minutes per hand. MTT varies greatly depending on the number of participants and scale, and some can take several hours.

I made it to 4th place in a KKPoker free tournament, but it took 2 hours lol. $15 for 1st place has a time-cost performance that is too bad lol. pic.twitter.com/mny2blwOTG

Large tournaments can take several days, so make sure to check the schedule carefully.
